This car is awesome and about the same performance as a good stage 3 cosworth due to lightweight and gearing(4.6 sec 0-60 standard),but i just cant keep away from the cosworth/rs scene,so looking for another one This is a Very rare 1993 Subaru Impreza WRX Type RA ( Race Altered ), model number GC8-A47D in near mint condition with low and genuine mileage. It was imported in Dec 1998 by Lee Jeffery ( WRX.co.uk ) a subaru specialist in Plymouth. This must be one of the best examples of a Version 1 Type RA's in the country.
There is also a lot of history with this car which is unusual for an Import with the original manuals from Japan, lots of receipts for parts and servicing and all the old MOT's since being Imported. Cambelt was changed at 47,000 miles and wouldn't need doing again until 90,000.
The RA is awsome enough in standard spec with a Group N quick ratio gearbox, Lightweight body panels and a 240BHP engine, but this has a number of performance enhancing modifications giving the car a Sub 5 second 0 - 60 time, putting some of the more modern UK subaru's to shame.
This car is also affordable to run with 25 MPG driven sensibly and my Insurance Fully comp is £400.
The car is in fantastic condition as you will see from the pictures. Its been well looked after and is in near mint condition both inside and out and just used at weekends.
Main points of Interest are:
280+ BHP. (scoobyecu fitted)
65,000 miles.
Uprated brakes with STi Year 2000 and braded brake hoses.
Dump Valve.
HKS Airfilter.

Lots of History including a copy of the Importation documentation.
Number of Original parts available with the car if you wish to convert back to standard.
Its a genuine car with a genuine history.

looks nice mark

 

It is very nice pops,probaly one of the best early type ras in the country,trouble is it doesnt leak or use oil,doesnt smoke at all ever,never breaks down,gives very good performance with no noise or fuss and most importantly...never gives you paranoia...oh i miss cossies

mark

 

i must of bought your old cossie by the sounds of it

 

very nice!

 

It is indeed miss sassyrs

mark

 

 

what sort or price you looking for your scooby mate. i got a mint s1 turbo if your interested?

 

my mate daves just gpt hold of this now

fooking hell does it fly

 

what he swap it for?

Mark
you had the crystal blue saff correct? got a new cossie then?
many moons ago since we met at cola's party

 

swaped his 4x4 sappy!

 

Yes I swapped my beloved Saph for this! Worth it tho - it's an amazing car. If you'vve never had a Subaru then I don't think u can slag them off. They're not as lovable as a Cossie but they do the job of going fast very well!!!

Lambchop - Mark did say he used to have a Blue Saph ur right!

Cheers
Dave

 

thats right mate,its mark who was at colas with the crystal blue sapph...the subaru is quick as described in the ad,but after being in the rsoc for over 20 years i cant seem to keep away from them the saph isnt as quick but it will be soon with low comp engine, t34 and greys

mark

 

Here's the Scooby now! Love this car but still want another Escort Cosworth one day soon...!

Hope the Saph's working out for you Mark!

Cheers
Dave

 

oh no! what have you done to those nice gold speedlines

the sapphires been brilliant but ive now moved and dont need a car for everyday use as i walk/bike to work.i still have my garage but its a bit expensive when its really just a toy,so im looking for a old school car (cheap ins/tax exemp) or a kit car (cheap ins)to keep in garage and have a play now and again


mark

 

Sold em mate - I didn't like them! These are OZ P1 wheels!!! Lighter and nicer I think!
I see you're selling the Cossie...? Thought you were going Stage 3...?

Cheers mate
